Microsoft wants to meld antispam proposals
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft is lobbying to combine its technical proposal for authenticating e-mail with a competing process, backed by America Online. George Webb, group manager of Microsoft's antispam technology and strategy team, said Friday that it has been working with the people behind SPF, or Sender Policy Framework, a proposed standard for verifying the domain of an e-mail sender and prevent mail forgery. Microsoft wants to combine that system with its own Caller ID for E-mail, which has the same goal with a slightly different approach.
